    CleverTap, the all-in-one engagement platform has been recognized as a ‘Strong Performer’ in The Forrester Wave™: Cross-Channel Marketing Hubs, Q4 2024. The report evaluated 14 top global vendors across 28 criteria, including experience optimization, identity resolution and privacy, customer analytics, and mobile.

    CleverTap received its highest scores in three key evaluation criteria – Experience optimization, mobile, and pricing flexibility and transparency. Moreover, CleverTap is also among the only three vendors, out of the top 14 global providers evaluated, to receive ‘above average’ customer feedback, which, we believe is a testament to the positive feedback from CleverTap customers, signifying trust and loyalty with the brand.

    Anand Jain, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, CleverTap said, “At CleverTap, our focus has always been on empowering brands to deliver personalized experiences that resonate deeply with their audiences. And we believe that being recognized as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave™ CCMH Hubs 2024 report not only validates our commitment but also strengthens our resolve to continue setting new standards in customer engagement and growth.”

    The Forrester Wave™ Cross Channel Marketing Hubs, Q4 2024 report states that “CleverTap offers an all-in-one platform for midsize enterprises; larger enterprises should consider its verticalized solutions to complement their Cross-Channel Marketing Hub (CCMH) ecosystem.” Customers trust CleverTap; one noted how it understands their tech needs to integrate across marketing, CRM, and operations. The company’s vision for inconspicuous engagement, based on customer consent and anticipation – resonates well, as does its view that MarTech should be a living cartography or ecosystem rather than a fixed stack. Additionally, IntelliNODE stands out as an embedded AI copilot that creates a network of experiments and automatically determines winning engagement paths, balancing individual and broader segment optimization.

    As policy, regulatory, and market forces create new sustainability and operational considerations in business, the Asia-Pacific region is at the cusp of change. As the cornerstone of global textile and garment manufacturing, it is brimming with companies trying new things and coping with the new demands of a changing world.

    Taking place from 13 to 15 November 2024 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore, the Asia-Pacific Textile and Apparel Supply Chain Expo & Summit (APTEXPO 2024) will bring industry leaders, stakeholders, and innovators together to share best practices and explore solutions that will propel the region’s textile and apparel supply chain forward.

    The event is jointly organised by MP Singapore and The Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT TEX), and hosted in Singapore by the Singapore Fashion Council.

    In line with this year’s theme, “Re-engineering towards a Resilient, Adaptive and Sustainable Supply Chain”, APTEXPO 2024 will see over 20 leaders and experts such as Kristen Nuttall, Head of Programs, The Fashion Pact, and Jonas Wand, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, FOURSOURCE, take to the stage to discuss challenges and opportunities faced by global supply chains and explore different ideas in digitalisation, sustainability and risk resilience.

    Highlights of APTEXPO 2024 include:

    The summit will also feature special investment briefing sessions on the Asia-Pacific Textile Industrial Park to provide participants with greater insights into promotional and investment opportunities.

    “We are pleased to be playing an important role in supporting long-term, purpose-led value creation in fashion and its supply chains. APTEXPO 2024 is set to encourage much needed conversation, insight-gathering and collaboration for companies navigating the opportunities of this new, changing landscape,” said Sharon Lim, President, Singapore Fashion Council.

    Over 300 delegates from key brands, large chain retailers, regional and international designers, trading companies, policymakers, and technology providers from around the world are expected to attend the accompanying thought-leader summit.

    “Looking at the numerous registrations and interest that have come from over 30 economies, we have been so encouraged to see the market interest in APTEXPO 2024. The idea of an event that brings together the whole ecosystem from garment and textile manufacturers, to warehousing and transportation, distribution and sales, including e-commerce platforms, financing solutions and more, seems to echo the buyers’ sentiments for such a turnkey platform,” said Jason Ng, Managing Director, MP Singapore.

  • Graid Technology Inc. and KLC Group Forge Groundbreaking Partnership to Redefine High-Speed RAID and Data-at-Rest Security

    Graid Technology Inc. and KLC Group Forge Groundbreaking Partnership to Redefine High-Speed RAID and Data-at-Rest Security

    As data demands surge in today’s hyper-competitive landscape, organizations are constantly seeking solutions that balance cutting-edge security with uncompromised performance. A new strategic partnership between Graid Technology, creators of SupremeRAID™, and KLC Group, innovators behind CipherDriveOne Plus, is set to redefine this balance with a first-of-its-kind solution for high-speed storage and NSA CSfC-certified Data-at-Rest (DAR) Security.

    Graid Technology Inc. and KLC Group Secure Groundbreaking Partnership to Disrupt High-Speed RAID and Data-at-Rest Security

    At the core of this collaboration is a novel approach to data security. Combining the National Security Agency’s (NSA) Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Data-at-Rest (DAR) Security guidelines, the joint solution integrates encryption, access controls, and authentication to deliver military-grade data protection. This breakthrough is designed to meet the critical needs of government contractors and organizations that require NSA CSfC-certified protection alongside high-performance RAID storage.

    While CipherDriveOne Plus provides robust hardware-based full-disk encryption, traditional RAID solutions have presented challenges, including drive-locking mechanisms that limit the performance of CSfC-compliant NVMe SSDs or spinning disks. SupremeRAID™ by Graid Technology offers a groundbreaking alternative. As a GPU-accelerated software RAID, SupremeRAID™ eliminates the bottlenecks and limitations of hardware RAID, allowing CSfC-compliant systems like CipherDriveOne Plus to operate without compromising authentication processes or drive performance. This results in superior data protection and seamless NVMe SSD operation.

    CipherDriveOne Plus, a Hardware Full Disk Encryption – Authorization Acquisition (AA) solution, is designed to meet the U.S. Government’s strict Data-at-Rest (DAR) standards. It provides key management, encryption, and authentication over OPAL 2.0 self-encrypting SSDs or HDDs, ensuring immediate data protection that is OS-agnostic and governed by FIPS-140-2 level key encryption with options for single, two-factor, or multi-factor authentication.

    “We are thrilled to embark on this new journey with our esteemed partner, where innovation meets collaboration. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones and won several government customers in a short time. There is no other solution capable of our joint technology in the market today,” said Kurt Lennartsson, CEO of KLC Group.

    “By joining forces with KLC Group, we are redefining the performance and security benchmarks in high-performance computing, AI, and diverse industries reliant on data-intensive operations,” stated Leander Yu, President and CEO of Graid Technology. “The collaboration between SupremeRAID™ and CipherDriveOne Plus not only enhances performance but also ensures comprehensive data protection, scalability, and flexibility.”

  • NEFECON Included in 2024 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guidelines

    Recently, Everest Medicines has announced another positive development. The company’s lead product, NEFECON, as the only in-disease IgA nephropathy (IgAN) treatment, has been included in the “KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management Of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) and Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) (Public Review Draft)” (hereinafter referred to as the “New Guidelines (Draft)”), recommending treatment with a 9-month course of NEFECON for patients who are at risk of progressive kidney function loss with IgAN (2B). This significant milestone further solidifies Everest Medicines’ leadership in the treatment of IgAN and brings new hope to IgAN patients worldwide.

    NEFECON Ushering in a New Era of Standardized Treatment of IgA Nephropathy

    According to the New Guidelines, NEFECON is the only treatment to date proven to reduce levels of pathogenic forms of IgA and IgA immune complexes. The inclusion of NEFECON in the New Guidelines Draft solidifies NEFECON as the first-line cornerstone in the treatment of IgAN, ushering in a new era of standardized treatment. With the imminent release of China’s first-ever IgAN guidelines, NEFECON is expected to be recommended as the first-line treatment for IgAN patients at risk of disease progression, further reinforcing its pivotal role in clinical practice.

    According to Everest Medicines’ recent financial reports, NEFECON has generated RMB 167.3 million in sales revenue just over a month after its commercial launch and first prescription in mainland China in May 2024, demonstrating strong market demand. NEFECON has been commercially launched in mainland China, Macau, and Singapore, and has also been approved in Hong Kong. The New Drug Application (NDA) of NEFECON has been accepted in South Korea, signaling steady progress in global commercialization.

    In the second half of 2024, Everest Medicines will continue to promote the sales of NEFECON in mainland China and other regions in the Asia-Pacific, while actively participating in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) negotiations to further enhance the affordability and accessibility. It is expected that 2025 will be a breakout year for NEFECON sales, with promising potential for the future.

    Core Products Performing Strongly, Differentiated Pipeline Further Refined

    According to Everest Medicines’ interim results for the first half of 2024, the company’s total revenue reached RMB 301.5 million, marking a significant growth of 158% compared to the second half of 2023, and achieved commercial level profitability. The commercial launch of NEFECON has been a key driver behind this revenue growth. In addition, XERAVA (eravacycline), the world’s first-in-class fluorocycline antibiotic, also performed exceptionally well, generating RMB 134.2 million in sales in the first half of 2024. As the availability of XERAVA expands to reach more patients, its revenue is expected to grow further.

    Within the autoimmune disease portfolio, the lead product VELSIPITY (etrasimod) has been approved in Macau and Singapore, with plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) in mainland China and Hong Kong in the second half of 2024, alongside a commercial launch in Macau. Everest Medicines is expected to have three commercialized products by the end of 2024, further refining its differentiated pipeline development and driving the company into a new phase of growth.

    In terms of innovative R&D, Everest Medicines owns a proprietary mRNA development platform with full intellectual property and global rights, focusing on developing both preventive and therapeutic self-developed mRNA products. In August 2024, Everest announced the launch of the first-in-human Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial (IIT) for EVM16, a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine program. Everest Medicines is anticipated to submit investigational new drug applications in the United States and China in 2025 for EVM14, a Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAA) cancer vaccine program.

    In addition, EVER001, a next-generation covalent reversible BTK inhibitor, with global rights, is under development for the treatment of renal diseases worldwide. The company is expected to announce the topline results of its Phase 1b study in membranous nephropathy in the second half of 2024.

    With the company’s dual-engine strategy of in-house discovery and global in-licensing, Everest Medicines continues to expand its product pipeline and drive business growth. The company maintains its revenue guidance of RMB 700 million for 2024 and remains confident in achieving cash flow break-even by the end of 2025.

    With NEFECON being included in multiple authoritative domestic and international treatment guidelines, along with the ongoing R&D and promotion of numerous core products. Everest Medicines has once again demonstrated its leading position in the global biopharmaceutical field. Armed with its robust pipeline and continuous innovative R&D capabilities, the company is steadily advancing towards becoming a top-tier player in the global pharmaceutical industry.
